[Mimedefang] Please help with filter!

I have attached my mimedefang-filter.

All that I need fot it to do is to block the banned extensions and to
add the boilerplate disclaimer.  I know that this does not work because
I have the wrong number of brackets somewhere.

This is driving me up a wall!

Could somebody please post the corrected code.


Thank you so much.

# You may optionally provide a syslogging facility by passing an
# argument such as:  md_graphdefang_log_enable('local4');  If you do
this, be
# sure to setup the new syslog facility (probably in /etc/syslog.conf).
# An optional second argument causes a line of output to be produced
# for each recipient (if it is 1), or only a single summary line
# for all recipients (if it is 0.)  The default is 1.
# Comment this line out to disable logging.

#***********************************************************************
sub filter_begin () {
    
#***********************************************************************
# %PROCEDURE: filter
# %ARGUMENTS:
#  entity -- a Mime::Entity object (see MIME-tools documentation for
details)
#  fname -- the suggested filename, taken from the MIME
Content-Disposition:
#           header.  If no filename was suggested, then fname is ""
#  ext -- the file extension (everything from the last period in the
name
#         to the end of the name, including the period.)
#  type -- the MIME type, taken from the Content-Type: header.
#
#  NOTE: There are two likely and one unlikely place for a filename to
#  appear in a MIME message:  In Content-Disposition: filename, in
#  Content-Type: name, and in Content-Description.  If you are paranoid,
#  you will use the re_match and re_match_ext functions, which return
true
#  if ANY of these possibilities match.  re_match checks the whole name;
#  re_match_ext checks the extension.  See the sample filter below for
usage.
# %RETURNS:
#  Nothing
# %DESCRIPTION:
#  This function is called once for each part of a MIME message.
#  There are many action_*() routines which can decide the fate
#  of each part; see the mimedefang-filter man page.
